I wanna fly
With gypsy birds
For gypsy birds
Don’t know where they are going
I wanna fly
With gypsy birds
For gypsy birds
Know where the water is flowing
For the hearts that have grown dry
For the hearts that have grown shy
Yeah, and cold
For the hearts that are lost and sold
For the hearts who fear to grow old
All my friends
They go to the university
Cause all my friends
Know where they are going
All my friends
They go to the university
Cause all my friends
Are done roaming
So they wake up every morning
On the same side of the bed
Throw their solid led
Feet on the ground
Rapped in sweet release
That they’ve been found
And they teach them that birds have wings
And humans they don’t have wings
And so to think and how to think
Of big machines
Like airplanes
Airplanes always make me think
That humans they don’t have wings
I wanna fly
With gypsy birds
For gypsy birds
Don’t know where I’m going
They don’t care
They are gypsy birds
All they know is where the water is flowing
For the hearts that have grown dry
For the hearts that have grown shy
Yeah, and cold
For the hearts that are lost and sold
For the hearts who fear to grow old
Old and vain
